TREES IN CENTRAL PARK

Tho necessity of renewing the park planta-
tons has often been urged in these columns,
and the advice was repeated in q report made
last autumn by Superintendent Parsons. Pro
fcssor Sargent and Robert Douglas now indorse
these views with emphasis. A park without
trees is inconceivablc, and Central Park with
out the best trees possible falls short OF its
full measure of beauty and usefulness. The
work will he expensive, and it may be doubted
whether the sale Of the wood under ordinary
Department methods would prove any great
advantage. The experience Of Professor Sar-
gent in this mater is suggestive, nevertheless.
Time will also be required for this improve
mcnt but a few years count for little in the life
of tree or in the history of pleasure ground
planned for the rcfrcshmcnt of successive gen
crations. An obvious provision for Fastening
and chc0pening the work would lie the employ
mcnt of skilled woodmcn to do the chopplng.
There are few more painful spectaclcs than the
exhibition Of himself made by political Ia
borcr when struggling with an axe.

can be no doubt that some such rule as is known
